Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Obstructive pulmonary disease is characterized by narrowing of the airways or obstruction, which makes it harder for air to flow out of the lungs. This leads to difficulty in exhaling and requires more force to expire a given volume of air. Examples of obstructive lung diseases include asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema.
